Hi there,

Nanny
in Calgary

Hi there,
Nice to meet you my name is Jacqui.
I am 33 years old, married, and for most of my life I have worked as a Graphic Designer. After many years away from working with children, I am very ready to get back into it! I love the outdoors, cooking and eating healthy, photography, dancing, doing yoga, having fun and being silly!
I am a Certified Life Coach and am passionate about using my skills to support children; increasing their self awareness; helping them learn and grow, and think for themselves. Encouraging them to develop independence and self reliance. Helping them to develop their own set of values. All of course whilst having fun :)
I really enjoy interacting with children, playing with them, helping them to be creative and fuel their imaginations in their own way.
I am a quiet and calm person and I have seen this have the same effect on children. I also understand a child\'s need to be loud and energetic and can also allow them to be that, and match it when necessary! I am compassionate and understanding and respectful of the needs of children.
Ideally I am looking for a family I could work for full time, live out. I am open to most situations your family may have. I don\'t mind running errands, or doing housework. And I would love to cook for your family!
I do not have my first aid or CPR but I would be willing to obtain.
I look forward to hearing from you!
